We had a BIG surprise before the
break. Amy Storer, 4th grade math and
science teacher, was awarded HEB's
Excellence in Education Award. She is 1
of 6 teachers in the state of Texas
chosen for this award. She received a
$1,000 check from HEB, and our school
also received $1,000. Mrs. Storer will
attend a gala in Austin where they will
celebrate the accomplishments of these
6 teachers and choose 1 teacher for the
overall Education in Excellence award.
5. Mrs. Storer's 4th grade classes have been working with project based learning and created the "Go Green" campaign. The project came with our adopted science program, STEMscopes. The driving question for this project was, "How can we, as students, inform and encourage our campus to help save our natural resources?" They spent quite a few days researching how schools and humans can be more green!
Our students and staff celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by sporting their green gear.
Before MES headed off into the wild blue yonder of Spring Break, our students and teachers enjoyed our Go Texan Day festivities. It was a day filled with Texas sized fun!
Miss 2014 On Tuesday, second, third, and fourth grade girls gathered in the Library during their specials time for our guest speaker, Monique Evans, Miss Texas 2014! Miss Texas encouraged students listen to their parents, concentrate on their school work and do their homework. Third grader, Hannah Donaldson said, "She was amazing, pretty and smart. I liked that she said you don't need to worry about being anyone else, just be yourself”

Mrs. Miller's class created a habitat for
their earthworms. Each group was given
an earthworm and they had to figure out
how to keep it alive. They started by
researching its living conditions, and
then they created a habitat for it and
took care of it daily. We just released
them last week.
The reason Earthworms come to the
surface when it rains because they need
oxygen to breathe, and they would
drown if they stayed in the soil.
Stewart Creek Elementary by:

Recently Stewart Creek students
collected $2378.74 for the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society. SCE Student Council
members gathered loose change for two
weeks from students during the Pennies
for Pasta Campaign. When all the change
rolled in, our students were happy to
submit their contributions to help change
the lives of students with Leukemia or
Lymphoma.
In March, our spring choral concert, “Dizzy Over Disney”, put everyone in the mood for spring break. Parents and grandparents hummed along to a few tunes they remembered from the MICKEY MOUSE club days! Adorned with mouse ears, first grade put on a super show.
Miss Texas, Monique Evans delivers a
positive message that empowers third
and fourth grade students at Stewart
Creek to make healthy life choices.
First Grade wrapped up their Texas Study with a chili cook-off. Each class made a pot of chili and it was a blind tasting by the judges. Each class won an award: Best all around - Mrs. Edsall's class Spiciest - Mrs. Guzman's class, Healthiest - Mrs. Riley's class, Meatiest - Mrs. Short's class, Best aroma & color- Mrs. Lewis' class, Most authentic- Mrs. White's class Best presentation - Mrs. Denn's class

1. Nicki, you Rock!!
MHS Powerlifter Nicki Ciesko competed at the Girls State Meet for the Texas High School Women's Powerlifting Association in Corpus Christi, TX, on March 21
st. Nicki
won 2nd place in her class after squatting 405lbs, bench pressing 220 lbs, and dead-lifting 340lbs. This performance allowed her to become the highest placing female medalist at State in Montgomery Powerlifting history. Only one other lifter (male or female) has ever approached this level of performance under this kind of pressure in school history! She is also the only Lady Bear Powerlifter who has competed in more than one state championship (5th Place in 2014). In addition to her outstanding performance, Nicki is the very first Montgomery Powerlifter ever to be awarded a THSWPA $1000 scholarship for college. There were only 18 total scholarships given in the entire state. Her accomplishments and essay made her stand out among 5,496 female powerlifting participants. Congratulations Nicki!
